Among New Jersey voters who know anything about the Xanadu project in The Meadowlands,
79 percent agree with Gov. Christopher Christie that it's ugly and 8 percent say it's attractive,
according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Men say it's ugly 83 - 7 percent and women agree 75 - 10 percent.

The 43 percent of voters who know about Xanadu are narrowly divided about the
project's future as 46 percent say it should go forward and 41 percent say it should be
abandoned, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

But voters oppose 77 - 15 percent spending state money to redo the Xanadu exterior. All
political and regional groups and men and women agree.

"Xanadu, that oddly shaped, oddly colored structure in The Meadowlands, isn't familiar
to most New Jerseyans, which probably is good news.

"Those who do know about it agree with Gov. Christopher Christie that it's a visual
atrocity."

From April 12 - 18, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,532 registered voters with a margin
of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio and the
nation as a public service and for research.
